Gary Hart’s Monkey Business: How and Why a Candidate Got Caught
By John Steele Gordon

When rumors began circulating about his supposed extramarital affairs, Sen. Gary Hart, the leading candidate for the 1988 Democratic nomination for President, challenged the media. He told The New York Times in an interview published on May 3, 1987, that they should “follow me around. . . . They’ll be very bored.” As the NBC anchor John Chancellor explained a few days later, “We did. We weren’t.”

Seldom if ever has a major presidential candidacy crashed and burned so quickly. On May 8, 1987, 20 years ago today and a mere five days after issuing his challenge, the Colorado senator withdrew as a candidate.
